The Jesus of History--A Reply to Josh
McDowell by Gordon Stein. Stein expertly does away with the purported passages in the works of historians
such as Josephus, Suetonius and Tacitus so widely trumpeted by Christian apologists as evidence of Jesus's
existence.

Worship of the Sun From The Worship of
Nature by J.G. Frazer. Outlines the prevalent "Pagan" sun-worship, including that of the Persian sun god Mithra,
that eventually became Christianity.

The Historicity of Jesus FAQ
Debunks, once again, the spurious claims that the "historical Jesus" is found anywhere outside the New Testament.
Apologists really need to give this up.

Did
Jesus Ever Live? Debunking by well-known Rationalist Joseph McCabe. Oddly and irrationally, after showing the
story to be preposterous, McCabe eventually reveals himself to be an evemerist, i.e., someone who finds a "human"
core somewhere under the numerous pagan mythological layers. His dating of the canonical texts is also off but
represents the typical academic perspective.

Did Jesus Exist--The Probing Mind by Frank
Zindler. Well-written overview of the arguments against a "historical Jesus." Regarding the spurious passage in
Josephus, Zindler says: "As late as 891, Photius in his Bibliotheca explicitly states that Josephus makes no
mention at all of Jesus' miracles and acts - indicating that the disputed passage was absent from his copy of
Antiquities of the Jews. The question can probably be laid to rest by noting that as late as the sixteenth century,
according to Rylands, a scholar named Vossius had a manuscript of Josephus from which the passage was
wanting."

Christianity is a Meme "On a more personal level, religious
conversion is known to alter the chemistry of the brain in many people. The high of the born-again Christian is a
state of euphoria with addictive qualities. The Christianity Meme need only provide religious explanation for the
high, like 'the love of God,' to create a strong infection."

The Christ Myth by Ed Selby. Excellent overview from a
Universalist Unitarian site.

The Diegesis by Rev. Robert
Taylor. Used to be online, but this book is well worth owning, as it was written by one of the most brilliant minds
in history.

THE TWELVE: FURTHER FICTIONS FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT by
Frank Zindler. Outlines other fictional characters in the New Testament, including the 12 disciples: "Among the
many imaginary characters of the New Testament, perhaps the most blatantly obvious fictions are the Twelve
Disciples. Of course, if Jesus was a sun-god (and who else is born on the winter solstice and worshiped on
Sunday?), he would have needed twelve zodiacal accomplices, one for every month of the year, or one for every sign
of the zodiac through which the sun's chariot journeys."

The Christ by John Remsburg: "If Christ was not originally a solar god he wears
today the livery of one. His mother, the Virgin, was the mother of the solar gods; his birthday, Christmas, is the
birthday of all the gods of the sun; his Twelve Apostles correspond to the twelve signs of the Zodiac; according to
the Gospels, at his crucifixion the sun was eclipsed, he expired toward sunset, and rose again with the sun; the
day appointed for his worship, the Lord's day, is the dies solis, Sunday, of the sun worshipers; while the
principal feasts observed in memory of him were once observed in honor of their goals. 'Every detail of the Sun
myth,' says the noted astronomer, Richard A. Proctor, 'is worked into the record of the Galilean teacher.'"

The Christ Remsburg expertly tackles the alleged
nonbiblical evidence of Jesus's existence, such as the spurious Josephus passage, etc.

The Cult of the Sun Quotes from Christianism.com
regarding the ancient astrotheology. "There is no difficulty in placing the worship of the sun god in the earliest
times, when it slowly took on a natural pattern and form determined by observation of the solar cycle."

Tacitus
and Bracciolini Written in 1878 by JW Ross, an "excellent Latin scholar," who attempted to prove that
Tacitus's Annals were forged.

The Christ Passage in Josephus A critical essay by scholar
Solomon Zeitlin on the "Testimonium Flavianum," which proves to be, once again, nothing but a forgery.

first-century Palestine." —David Mills, Atheist Universe
